Names
by Dorothy Aldis
Larkspur and Hollyhock,
Pink Rose and Purple Stock,
Lovely smelling Mignonette
Lilies not quite opened yet,
Phlox the favorite of bees,
Bleeding Heart and Peonies -
Just their names are nice to say,
softly,
On a summer's day.
The above are not the named flowers in the poem, but just as exquisite.My sister, Margy, recited this poem for us about a year ago on a garden tour as we left Connie's on a VERY hot day.
Below, this hollyhock is tiny in stock only; its flowers are normal size!
Is this the Drama Queen, Connie?
The unfolding and opening of one my bold pink favorites.
The face of this hollyhock is everybit as complicated as ours, and surprisingly lovely with no make-up or new hairdo!
I may have had to buy a lug of tomatoes to put up yesterday,
The unfolding and opening of one my bold pink favorites.
The face of this hollyhock is everybit as complicated as ours, and surprisingly lovely with no make-up or new hairdo!
I may have had to buy a lug of tomatoes to put up yesterday, but my flowers flouish.
